I hate travelling.

Give me a good book (or Netflix), a quiet day without any commitments to work and two comforting meals (like the poached chicken above) and i’m all good. I will be restored.

Caught a slight chill in Australia with that scratchy throat and all the familiar accompanying symptoms.

Lozenges were all I could do then. When I got back, I just worked from home, made soup, avoided expending negative energy (eg. getting enraged at the news, reacting to people on social media).

And all was restored. For now at least.
